Here's a column written by Jill Stuart, wife of Chad Stuart of Chad and Jeremy called "Letter From London." It was a beauty and advice coulmn featured in 16 magazine, a popular periodical for teenagers in the United States. It's still being published, though now you will find pictures of the overrated and undertalented pop acts of today polluting its pages!

Jill also talks about modeling schools and where she buys her clothes in London and New York. Sorry to our British readers, but Ohrbach's doesn't exist anymore!

This coulmn doesn't say much about the Hollies in general, except that Jill hung out with them in London and talks about their number 1 hit at the time, "I'm Alive." Plus, there's a cute photo of them at the bottom!

The scan may come out a little hard to read, but you should be able to if you look at it closely.

Anytime, Paula! That is also one of my favorite photos of them with the origial lineup. Allan is gorgeous, as always, and I love the smiles on all their faces. Even Eric looks adorable here. I never saw him smiling that much before. I wish I could have hung out with the boys in the recording studio. If Bobby needed help with the percussions - like the maracas, tamborine, or bongos - I could bang away at those! I could also sing harmony with Allan and Graham ... WOW!

I do agree with you it is a really lovely pic of Eric,very natural.If we were in the recording studio the producer would have to cut out a lot of heavy breathing and sighing .

That is, if he allowed us to stay there after all that! I don't think I would be able to keep from staring in awe at Allan all the time!

I wouldn't blame him. I'd like to see how fast he goes. He'd probably run through the wall!

Since the female contingent here is drooling of the way the lads look in this and other threads (I'll never think of a guy in swimming trunks quite the same way again), it's worth noting that the lovely Ms. Stuart is likely more attractive to men than any of the Hollies were to gals.

It's a great way to spice things up!

As my psychology professor once told us, "You can't really compare a girl to a guy in appearance."

While Ms. Stuart is indeed a lovely young lady, her fanbase is, at this moment, outnumbered by the number of gals here who find the Hollies attractive.

On top of that, given the amount of attention both Jill and the Hollies got was not as much as some of their counterparts at the time, they most likely did not get as many guys and gals fawning over them as they should have, respectively.

I agree with you about the swimming trunks, though Sparty: I'll never think of a guy in swimming trunks the same way again, either! I'll keep having visions of Tony in pinstripe blues!

I seriously contest this!You simply can have no idea the effect Allan Clarke and the lads have on certain of us females.Until there is some sort of scientific experiment done and data gathered(I'll be a guinea-pig anytime),I can't really prove my point.You'll just have to believe me .As for those trunks,I go swimming twice a week and have yet to see anything like those,which is just as well as my husband wouldn't allow me into the pool .

LOL, Paula! That's hilarious! I have yet to see a guy who looks that good in skimpy trunks like that, and I've seen a few! I think, somewhere in the archives of Fabulous magazine, there are photos of Allan in swimming trunks, too. I don't know if they'll turn up in any issues on eBay, but when they do, and I'm able to buy them, I'll definitely post them here!
